My Step Dad lives in Minneapolis and works for the Taylor Corp. (Taylor owns the Timber wolves) They are now requiring proof of vaccination in order to work there. This is a direct violation of Hippa Law. Your medical history is nobody's business.

It's here folks. Get ready for "Show me your papers".

It doesn't violate HIPPA. It might violate other laws in effect, but not HIPPA.

I don’t know anything about HIPPA, but I do know a few things about HIPAA.

I don't see much downside to businesses requiring proof of vaccination if it is their desire to do so. If you don't like it, don't do business there.

tell em to pound sand and warn them of a large lawsuit if they terminate him, they have no right to the info legally.

for ANYONE to rcv hippaa info the person affected must sign a release and it is specific to who may get what info.
they have no right to it as they are not a medical entity with any type of need to know.

I have filled out and signed one or 3 of them over the yrs. for my cancer drs. to share info.

the va even made me sign one to myself to release old records from Okieland when I switched regions they covered.



HIPAA permits protected health information to be used for healthcare operations, treatment purposes, and in connection with payment for healthcare services. Information may be disclosed to third parties for those purposes, provided an appropriate relationship exists between the disclosing covered entity and the recipient covered entity or business associate. A covered entity can only share PHI with another covered entity if the recipient has previously or currently has a treatment relationship with the patient and the PHI relates to that relationship. In the case of a disclosure to a business associate, a business associate agreement must have been obtained. In all cases, the minimum necessary standard applies. Disclosures must be restricted to the minimum necessary information that will allow the recipient to accomplish the intended purpose of use.

Does HIPAA Prohibit All Other Uses of PHI?
HIPAA does not prohibit the use of PHI for all other purposes. PHI can be used for marketing purposes, can be provided to research organizations, and can even be sold by a healthcare organization. However, prior to any use or disclosure of health information that is not expressly permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule, one of two steps must be taken:

A HIPAA authorization must be obtained from a patient, in writing, permitting the covered entity or business associate to use the data for a specific purpose not otherwise permitted under HIPAA.
The health information must be stripped of all information that allow a patient to be identified.

please send me a pm with your bank acct. info, credit card info and any other pertinent info I can use to gain access to your finances.

since you are fine with this type of intrusion I will go out on a limb and guess you are fine with me having the above.

thank you for your participation.

Showing an ID for voting is racist but showing proof that you're vaccinated is 100% fine.

I think labor law decided some time ago that allows employers to require vaccines. No one would jump out there and do it if not

I researched this a bit a few weeks ago.

It appears to be legal and keep in mind if you have any side effects the employer is absolutely not responsible-- same as the vaccine manufacturer.

Where is that middle finger emoji when you need it?

Really no different than kids having to have certain shots to go to school. Much ado about nothing imo. Pathetic that everything is a five alarm fire for some folks.

I started to criticize your response but then remembered that it is that kind of response that only come from those who are very insecure. Sorry about your condition.

I work for a small mom and pop company. They have said repeatedly that they DGAF is we get vaccinated or not.
I like working for a company that still believes in freedom.

When your livelyhood is dependent on a vaccine, that is pathetic. It has nothing to do with your skills, only that you got a shot. Last I checked getting a vaccine was your freedom of choice. Not anymore. Also, he works from home, so what difference does it make? He is 66. Who is going to hire him if he doesn't comply and gets fired for it? They keep taking your freedoms a bite at a time and people like you think its ok.

His life may be dependent of getting the vaccine at 66. His age puts him in the higher risk group without even having any other medical conditions. Please advise your step dad that you care about him and help him get vaccinated.
